So I'm in the middle or repairing the front axle of my 4WD L275. A bearing failed and made a big mess on one side, so I decided to replace bearings and seals on both sides. I have all the parts but can't figure out which way round the bevel case oil seal should be inserted - the existing ones were installed different on left and right!
This is the seal that goes on the bottom of the vertical shaft as it comes out the bevel case (and into the axle case). Part 17 in the attached picture. Should the seal side with the spring be up or down?
